“Got to see and do so much couldn’t have done on your own. Loved it all!”

P.H. — Eagan, MN

Brekke puts on an outstanding tour. The quality of staff, hotels, and sites was exceptional. I embarked on this tour proud of my Norwegian heritage but now I know why. I come away from Norway even more proud to be Norwegian! I really appreciated all the personal connections Brekke has in Norway. You felt like more than conducting a tour, they were sharing their home. Every day was a new mountaintop experience.

This tour was everything we had hoped for -- and more! Our tour guide was fun, professional, helpful, and very knowledgeable. Our accommodations were 1st class and the food was excellent. Wonderful tour all around!

 ”
S.C. — Danbury, CT
“

Norway’s staggering beauty was augmented by stories of our own and fellow traveler’s family histories. Most of us were fortunate to be within memory of generational “sharing” whether by parents, grandparents, and even great grandparents. Almost all of us had the “ties that bind” making this trip both in the present and in our past, my trip of a lifetime.

 ”
G.W. — Plymouth, MN
“

Brekke staff provided great support and guidance. We are most appreciative of that as well as great attention!
